Subject Verb agreement!

by sameke » Tue Jan 13, 2009 2:01 pm
Hi there,

I was wondering if the ...or... structure takes singular verb.

Samantha or Derick is/are going to do dishes.

Is it similar to the either or and neither nor structure that take the verb of the closest subject.

Thanks.

YEAP.

Singular or Plural VERB

Plural or Singular VERBS

We might want to confirm this tough. I don't want to misguide you.
